Responsible Authorities’ representations

 

Planning Control Service

The representation was based upon concerns in relation to public safety, the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.  The representation indicated that the granting of the application would be in opposition to the premises’ current planning permissions.

 

Licensing Authority

The Authority made representation against the application based upon its concerns in relation to the prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder licensing objectives.  The representation drew attention to the perceived deficiencies in the application in explaining what additional steps the applicant would take to promote the four licensing objectives, in addition to fulfilling the requirements of Havering’s licensing policies 12 and 18, the Licensing Act’s s.182 guidance and the premises’ past compliance history with regard to Havering’s licensing policy 15.

 

The Metropolitan Police

The Police representation was based on the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety policies.  The representation identified a series of crimes and instances of anti-social behaviour which had occurred at the premises over the past year, and also a number of premises licence breaches over that same period.  In addition, the representation raised concern over the apparent lack of availability of CCTV images to aid the Police investigation of the crime and disorder incidents which had occurred at the premises.

 

There were no representations from the following responsible authorities:

 

The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority

The Health & Safety Enforcing Authority

The Trading Standards Service

Children & Families Service
